A discussion of the Rose-
lawn sewer contraband need
for an immediate decision on
the question of obtaining the
necessary land for construc-
tion.,^ an emergency levee around
the northern edge of the city
probably will come up for discus-
sion tonight at a City Commission
meeting.
Wayne Bass, one of the partners
in ttie B&W Construction Co.,
Roselawn developers, indicated
today to City Manager Ralph R.
Wolf that he would appear. Bass
has tried unsuccessfully for the
past two months to obtain back
payments in connection with the
installation of sewer lines. ,
Under the sanitary system
agreement made in 1952, the com-
pany built the lift station, sani-
1ary sewers, force main to the city
limits, and an eight - inch force
main to the Sholar lift. It was
agreed the developer would erect
750 units in four years. The city
proposed to repay this construc-
tion cost at the rate of $200 per
unit for the first 400 homes and
then $115 for each succeeding
house up to 750-

Under this agreement, the city
has repaid the developers $31,800

hope6 to obtain all or part of this
money. To date about 217 houses
have been built.
A meeting on attempting to
reach a decision on the levee ques-
tion is scheduled this afternoon in

Freed American Says Only
Spark Needed for Revolt
.BERLIN (AP)—An American released from a Soviet
slave labor camp at Vorkuta said today a rebellion flared
there in July, 1953, in which guards mowed down 110 prison-
ers on the spot and wounded 500 more.

Strike Ended at Six
Port Arthur Concerns
PORT ARTHUR (AP) — What
began nearly 14 months ago as a
mass strike against 2? Port Arthur
retail firms, raising cries of a Red
conspiracy to seize the oil indus-
try, has dwindled to picketing of
four firms.
Six business houses reached

Order To Dissolve
Cove City Is Ready
The order to dissolve the cor-

County Judge Charlie Groomffto-
day st 10 a,m. by Milton Regan,
attorney for a citizens’ group
which asked' an election to decide
abolition of the city.
County Judge Grooms was ex-
pected to canvass the votes of a
Saturday election which abolished
the city by a vote of 120 for and
109 against,.
Judge Grooms’ next step would
be to issue an order dissolving the
corporation.

terday. Eight firms settled Dec.
31.
One other firm apparently re-
mained struck, but no pickets
were posted there.
Picket lines went up at the
original 22 businesses when the
strike began Nov. 15, 1953. Two of
the firms w'ent out of business.
One signed a contract with the
union.
Whether the union gained bar-
gaining rights, chief issue in the
strike, was not revealed. Terms
of the settlement were unan-
nounced.
9‘i years imprisonment, told
a news conference the vast
network of prisons in Russia
“needs only a spark” to ex-
plode into open revolt.
Noble said tire revolt at Vor-
kuta, in Arctic Russia northeast of
Moscow, was inspired and or-
ganized by followers of the exe-
cuted Soviet Secret Police Chief,
L. P. Beria, who was then under
arrest. From 50 to 60 persons
were executed later, he said, as a
result of the revolt.
Father Released Earlier
Noble said the slave labor camp
at Vorkuta contained more than
a half million inmates, of whom
95 per cent were dedicated to op-
posing the Soviet regime.
Noble said the inmates got the
impression that Beria’s men were
trying to foment revolution
throughout the Soviet Union to
overthrow Premier Georgi Malen-
kov’s regime.
Noble described how he and his
father, a camera manufacturer,
were trapped in Dresden by World
War II and were compelled to re-
main there under local interment.
Both were arrested in 1945 by the
Russians. The lather was released
seven years Her. Young Noble
was taken from a German prison
to Vorkuta in 1950.
Never Tried
He said he was sentenced to 15
years, although he was never
tried, and added:

we were guilty of having received
American officers and soldiers in

today to boost the pay of govern-

at the same time raise postal rates.
He also proposed a health insur-

year and that the cost to the gov-
